Sources of light
Notice
Position the screen so that it is not subject to direct sunlight or other strong sources of light.
Defective pixels in the display
At present, the manufacturing process of modern displays does not guarantee that all pixels
of the display will be perfect. A small number of defective pixels in the display is therefore
unavoidable. This does not present a functional problem as long as the defective pixels are
not bunched in one location.
Further information is available in the section "General technical data" of the "Technical
data" chapter.
Burn-in dffect on TFT displays
A permanent picture with bright images can lead to a burn-in effect on the TFT LCD.
If a screen saver is activated, please observe the following:
• The liquid crystals in screen savers which actuate active black when the backlighting is
on, e.g. flying stars "starfield simulation," renew themselves. Pay attention to the length of
time the backlighting is activated
• The following applies to screen savers which turn off the the backlighting: Each time the
backlighting is turned on, its life is reduced by 50 minutes.

• Ensure that the protective contact socket of the building installation is easily accessible
and that there is a mains disconnect switch in switchgear cabinet installations.
• Position the screen in an ergonomic position favorable to the user. Choose a suitable
installation height.
• Position the screen so that it is not subject to direct sunlight or other strong sources of
light.
• Optical drives are susceptible to shock. Shocks during operation can lead to the loss of
data or damage to the drive or data carrier. Optical drives are not only suitable for
continuous operation.
• Applies to devices which are installed in swivel arm housings: Avoid rapid or jerky
movements of the swivel arm during operation. The ensuing forces could lead to possible
irreversible damage of the hard disk.
The stops of the swivel arm must be damped in order to avoid any mechanical shock
effect to the Panel PC on attachment.
• Applies to devices which are installed in cabinet doors: Prevent the doors being slammed
shut. The ensuing forces could lead to possible irreversible damage of the hard disk.
• The device wtih DC power supply applies in the area of the computer unit and above all
the power supply connection in accordance with the UL approval as "open type" or "open
equipment". For this reason, the device must be installed in a control cabinet or housing
that complies with fire-proofing requirements

4.4 Mounting Positions and Fastening
Note
The computer unit with AC power supply satisfies fire protection requirements to
EN60950-1. It may therefore be installed without additional fire-proofing measures.
• Provide adequate volume in the switchgear cabinet for air circulation and heat transport.
Keep at least 10 cm distance between the device and switchgear cabinet.
• Ensure that the maximum air intake temperature, measured 10 cm before the air intake
opening on the fan, does not exceed 45°C. The maximum air intake temperature must be
accounted for especially when sizing closed switchgear cabinets.
• The minimum distance between the device and the housing is 10 cm on the air output
side at the fan.
• Position the device in such a way that the air vents of the housing are not covered up
following mounting.
• Ensure there is enough free space in the switchgear cabinet to allow the sheet metal
cover to be removed. You will otherwise have to remove the device from the switchgear
cabinet or swivel arm when replacing memory or the battery.
• Provide enough free space to add on to the device.
• Equip the switchgear cabinet with struts for stabilizing the mounting cut-out. Install struts
where necessary.
• Avoid extreme environmental operating conditions. Protect your device against dust,
moisture and heat.

10.3.2 Using the direct control key module
The direct control key module is a module that is intended for use with the SIMATIC Panel
PC 877 (exclusively for variants with an integral membrane keyboard). Digital events can be
assigned to the function keys and softkeys (F1-F20 and S1-S16) of the membrane keyboard
via this module. This means that a digital input of a PLC can be activated at the press of a
key over PROFIBUS. The module is implemented as a PROFIBUS DP slave.
Functionality
The direct control key module is used to expand the functional scope of the SIMATIC Panel
PC 877 with the following features:
• Up to 32 function keys/softkeys on the membrane keyboard of the Panel PC can be
scanned over PROFIBUS as direct keys.
• Up to 16 additional keys from an external operator panel can be connected if required.
• There are 16 digital outputs for activating checkback signal lamps (by the PLC over
PROFIBUS DP) in external operator panels.
All direct control keys can be scanned over PROFIBUS DP from the PLC.
Software control
Mounting
At the Panel PC end, the direct control keys are programmed using the "Key pad" software
tool. The codes for all keys of the Panel PC 877 can be changed using this tool. It can also
be used to assign the direct control key functionality to all function keys and softkeys of the
Panel PC. The Key Pad software will be included with the direct control key module on
diskette as well as on the Documentation and Drivers CD of all Panel PC 877s .
The direct control key module can be ordered separately from the Panel PC. It can be
retrofitted in the immediate vicinity of the Panel PC: Either on a standard mounting rail (the
mounting equipment required is included in the package with the direct control key module)
or directly using 4 screws on a wall / front panel / control panel. Detailed mounting
instructions are included with every direct control key module on paper and with every Panel
PC 877.
